It’s not much but I want to give you something to show my appreciation. I’ve been watching you since 2017 and I don’t intend to stop. I remember when your were just celebrating your five year anniversary. But I want to say thank you for being the one who made me fall in love with animation. Thank you for being the one who made me think critically about art. Thank you for pushing me to pursue my own creative endeavors. And just thank you for being the one who made me begin to think differently. If I could give you more than this I would, and I hope you keep going. I’ve stuck with you this long I’m not leaving now
You know, despite all the missteps and struggles you’ve had over the years, I always respected how passionate and resilient you are through it all. I also like how you’re taking your more biggest screwups in stride and am trying to grow from them, instead of dwelling on them It’s been a wild ride.
I agree. I have a massive respect for how much Enter has been able to shrug things off and keep doing. I've gotten into more mild drama and gotten criticism on a much smaller scale and it fucked me up more than it did for Enter, so it's really admirable. I know this is something of a cliche comment to leave for a TH-camr, but I'm never gonna stop watching. I've been a viewer since 2016 and don't really plan on stopping anytime soon.
You blew up in an era of outrage culture (Nostalgia Critic, "George Lucas R*ped My Childhood", Anonymous, etc). Its no wonder that in your early days you'd struggle understanding the line between criticism and aggression. Myself and my brother (who has aspergers) grew up on your videos and can guarantee you brought joy to people even if you had you detractors. But times change and so does culture, so its wonderful to see you evolving and reflecting on the past. Im sorry you had such a hard run of it before, but Im so glad to see you've started to process it in a healthy way.
Been supporting you for a bit. Sorry you've been going through a lot. Best thing to do is to keep moving forward and just hold your head up high. We all make mistakes, we are not flawless beings. I wish you the best for 2023 and moving forward.
I swear it seems like no matter what you do, the internet wants your head on a platter. I've disagreed with several things you've said before in the past, but it's not worth getting you cancelled. Regardless, I hope your mental state improves and you are happy with your life going forward. Take as much time as you need for videos, self-improvement is more important. I believe without a shadow of a doubt that the Top 10 Worst Cartoons of the 2020's list WILL happen.
Even through the lowest moments I’ve always wanted to stand by you, cause deep down I genuinely have always felt with the amount slander people throw at you, especially from the past couple of years, so I’m certainly glad you’ve been reflecting on this, and I truly hope it puts you in a better position then you were in back when .
Always appreciate someone who can acknowledge their mistakes and own up to them rather than trying to justify them I don't like a damn thing you said during the pandemic and some of your past political takes have aged really poorly in my eyes, but I can respect that you seem to consistently own up to your mistakes given your track record only criticism: try to make less mistakes in the future, it makes it awkward to like your content. On another note: Here's some money to thank you for all the years of content. I've been watching you since the mid-2010's and you're part of the reason i'm so passionate about storytelling to this day. I'm an aspiring author and general artist and I think i have you to thank for that. Good luck out there.
What I appreciate you among all the western animation TH-camrs is despite finding the hate you get unjustified, you still strive to be a better person. And it often shows. Also from a fan who also recently turned 30. Here's hoping your 30s be a bright decade for you.
Hey MrEnter, it’s nice to hear videos like this as to show how much you’ve grown with the world around you. Like you said, nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. You are really relatable and are still one of my favorite youtubers. I’ve been a fan since your Norm of the North review.
5:47 "This angry person that I was is not something I want to be." That hit FAR towards home for me. All my life, I've had incidents where I hurt people that didn't deserve to be hurt, physically and verbally. I thought after high school, I was fine to just roll with everything, but recently I had an incident with a co-worker of mine, a petty argument that cost me my job. And hearing this line from someone else who also had these issues, it helps me feel that I'm not on my own with this in some way. And the line, "Don't be sorry - be better," is also a good motto to live by, because that's something I try to do every day and something I hope to do until my time is done.
I’ve been with you since 2017 and I’m so sorry with everything that’s been going on.Thank you for all that you’ve done and you continue to be one of my favorite TH-camrs. edit:thanks for the heart in advance
Being honest with you mr enter a lot the hate you get is unwarranted like it mostly around bad takes on animated shows that about it, which are usually over reactions.
I used to be a fan of your content but drifted away not for any particular reason or fault of yours but I've always maintained that you get WAY too much flack for no real reason.
I wasn’t diagnosed with ASD and OCD until late 2021, and 2022 gave me a whole new perspective on life. This video, as well as your 2020 pandemic videos really struck a chord with me. Even though I didn’t know at the time that I was autistic, I was struggling with intrusive thoughts and loneliness throughout the past few years. Thank you Mr. Enter for telling me that I’m not alone in my problems, even if not by intention.
As someone who’s been around for those 10-9 years you’ve been on TH-cam, all the way since you were an MLP reviewer, I say from the bottom of my heart, you and your content has provided me both laughs and deep thoughts alike. Thank you Mr. Enter.
I am not the type to be won over by pity or social opening up. However, whatever drama or mis-steps you make, I recognize the effort you put into it. Here is small something to encourage you to keep pursuing those Muses.
I've always believed that, beneath everything else, you've always been a good person at heart. I think we have a lot in common, actually. These past few years have bene hard on a lot of us, and too often quite a few of us felt like we were in a no-win situation. Through all of it, I'm glad you're still here with us. And from one content creator to the other, I truly wish you all the best in what hopefully is a very long future for you.
We are all human, John. I work in hospital security and got a front row seat to how the pandemic broke a lot of people, so I can completely understand how it got to you as well. I won’t go into my own troubles during the same period of time, but suffice to say that I also understand a lot of what you were going through on a more direct level. It was your Lion King 2019 review that really struck me on a personal level. Your portrayal of talking with your younger selves actually made me step back and look at my own life at the time…and for the first time in a long time start appreciating how far I’d come and actively take steps to continue getting better. That I’ve sought treatment for some of my issues and improved my life as a result I partly owe to you, so thank you. I wish you all the best
Despite disagreeing with many things you've said in a lot of videos, I never liked the negative discourse around you and I always admired how resilient you are in general. I don't think many people would have to deal with that and still continue making videos. I always had a feeling that a lot of your outbursts toward people were fueling by your animosity of the world events, and I do understand that, I feel like even though this year has started we're all dealing with the aftermath of it. As someone who also has OCD and is a germaphobe I can sorta relate, not in the same way, maybe not even the same circumstance or that extreme, but I get very antsy about being sanitary and organize to consider clean. I always have to have a bottle of disinfectant spray beside my desktop and inside my car. In many ways you were a influential creator in the animation reviewing community despite the many missteps you've had. Happy 10 years Mr. Enter!
I've been here since 2014 and honestly, despite the missteps, I've stuck around because I genuinely wouldn't be where I am in life if not for your early videos changing the trajectory of my passion for animation and children's media. I went from being a 16 year old with no clue what he wanted to do, to being 25 now and actually working in children's books. And I'm pretty sure I watched every one of your videos along the way, even ones I disagreed with. Everything at least got me to think and grow a little bit. And dang it, you're still changing my life. I started watching Bluey after your Admirable Animation and the showcase of Sleepytime, and now it's part of my daily routine. :P So thanks for that! Looking forward to what you do next, as always.
2020 almost broke me too, man. 2022 was the one that ended up breaking me (it was the invasion, along with the implications that came with it). It sent me into a spiral of fear that was so close to being the end for me. I had a “plan” and everything. But, to put a long story short, I had a religious experience and looked into different churches for peace. I just accepted the fact that I know nothing and just surrendered my will to God’s. I’m receiving my first Eucharist in the Catholic Church this Easter. I’ve still got a lot of work to do on myself, but I’ve honestly never been happier or more at peace. I don’t know what the answer is going to be for you. But you are not alone in the problems you’ve been facing in the past few years, and you WILL get better. Things WILL get better for you and all of us. Just have faith and take care of yourself and the people who love you. I think we’ve gotten to the point where we do not need weekly uploads from you. We just need you to be happy and healthy. God bless.
Thank you so much for the description of OCD. I’ve had it since childhood, and it got immeasurably worse in my later teens and early 20s. It really is like have an enemy in your mind constantly attacking, constantly chipping away at who you are. It knows what hurts you the most, and it can follow your train of thought, ruining happy moments before they even really start. Again, you described it wonderfully, so thank you. And also, my condolences, as I know firsthand exactly what it’s like.
Actually, not everyone with autism can relate to the OCD thing (i have autism too), and personally even though i don't have that i can still relate since i always thought about messed up things when my mom died :( from an serious disease which ofcourse i don't need to mention for people like me who should'nt hear about diseases. But thankfully i and my stepmotger and Dad are never unlucky when it comes to those things :) Sorry that it got personal i just had to share it
I know I’m VERY late to the party here, but I just heard about this video after discussing your content with a friend. I have to say that I don’t blame you at all. The pandemic years were hard on all of us. I was personally denying my need for therapy and spiraled so deep into isolation, fear, and hatred that my mental health was deemed an emergency situation and I was sent to therapy as an intervention, but that’s another story. What matters most is that we admit when and how we fucked up and work to change, and it looks like this has been the turning point where you’ve clawed your way out of stagnation. I’m proud of you, Enter. Keep it up.
Watching Joon the King's video was like a nostalgia trip but in the worst way. I've been following your stuff nearly since the beginning. Seeing the few highs and massive amount of lows. I had a few phases where I ironically and then unironically enjoyed your videos. While Nick-O-Rama wasn't perfect it was something your channel needed. Even if it didn't meet it's deadline it was extremely interesting. It brought me back, and then I dropped from your channel a bit, but now I think I'll be back to watch your vids. Catch up on the rest of your most recent videos and all that. While my opinion of you changed a lot over the years, I'm glad you didn't become someone like Spoony, who just spent tweeting in a void and eventually being absent from the internet, but you haven't given up, no matter how much has happened. Clay Claymore, Growing Around's Indigogo campaign, Turkey Tom's slander, the pandemic vids, the Turning Red review, all of those being hard hitting to your reputation but I'm happy that you never gave up, ever. You inspire me in a way to keep going. Thanks John, Here's to being better
Thanks a lot for talking about this; it really helps to hear how you’ve been really doing and a retrospective of all the awful nonsense you’ve been going through. I have a super hard time paying attention to things that actually matter and getting too obsessed with dumb stuff as well but hearing how you described it really puts everything into perspective; you were honestly the first TH-camr I really consistently watched and the only one I still do and this is why I’ve stuck around, your ability to break complex things down and introspect in order to make broader points. I’m not trying to say you’re super amazing because this is a sadder/more serious video and that’s what people comment on these, I just think it’s amazing how you’re able to do that and it’s always helped me
I hope this year goes better for you. Though puberty and a breaking point of exhaustion helped with intrusive thoughts a lot, or at least reset them, I know how horrible they can be in any manifestation and I'm glad you at least have the information to identify them, even if they are habit forming & hard to resist.
I went back to this video a year later after coming to similar epiphanies after many years of being heavily broken and traumatised. I’ve been reawakened after the New Year thanks to having multiple epiphanies on the daily. Thank you once again, Mr. Enter. This video helped me feel that I am not as alone as I think. I see myself in you. Many of what you said struck close to me. I had felt many of the things you have felt. I felt seen. I too want to focus on healing and reevaluation. All I knew was that I had to be and feel better, and that I only started.
Happy 10 years Mr. Enter. I understand how you felt about 2020. I’ve been watching your channel for 10 years and the thing is, we ALL have our fair share of fuck-ups. I’m also sorry to hear of the passing of your late mother & grandmother. The fact that you admit your wrongs is what a true man would do. Those who do the opposite are narcissistic cowards. I’m still here for you & we all are. You are NOT alone. Well said old friend. You have our blessing.
Dude, I can totally relate to what you've been going through the past several years. At times I felt like I started developing symptoms of PTSD during the pandemic. I wish you the best of luck in the time ahead.
Enter, I'm sorry about all of the stuff that has happened in the last few years, but to cheer you up as it were, i have to say you are an inspiration to me. Your reviews and take on fiction have helped me be a better writer, and even though not popular, I liked your political videos as well. Cheers to ten years and to the Rollercoaster ride that is life.
I know this is a late comment, but... I've been following your work since 2013 or 2014. I've always appreciated your content, even though I've often disagreed with you or found things you've said questionable. However, I've always stuck with you because, through all the ups and downs, the one thing you've always consistently done is be genuine. Through it all, I've never gotten the impression that you were a fake person - you've always presented yourself honestly, even if you were wrong. Through your mistakes, you've shown a significant drive to change and do better, which means you're worth trusting and you're worth second chances. I wish you the best going forward, look forward to seeing how your content continues to develop, and always remember that you still have many people ready to support you. Take care of yourself, Enter ✌️
Something to be said about a person who isn’t afraid of speaking their mind. It’s something I have always respected about your content. I also get the amount of difficulty and challenge this world has taken on many people. I myself have taken some solid blows to my mental state let alone everything else. So hearing this heart filled apology has actually him me as more of a thank you. Well I should say, thank you! For those of us who actually enjoy your content this means a lot! And personally I can’t wait to hear your opinions on more content!
I appreciate your brutal honesty in this video. It can be really tough to come to terms with oneself (I'm struggling to do the same) and it's really encouraging to see someone doing it themselves. I've been watching your vids for around 5 years and will continue to support your content. Hope you're doing well right now.
During the Pandem, I decided that since you thought masks did nothing, that you were taking something I was forced into taking seriously as a joke. I said many mean things to you, probably even brought it up to harassment. Can I just say i'm sorry? I didn't want to be the person I was then. Now that it's (basically) over, I too realize just how shitty a person I was to anyone who didn't confirm to *my* standards on taking the pandemic seriously.
I think sometimes we forget that TH-camrs are human too. That there's a real person behind the voice on the screen. It's strangely humbling. I hope you keep doing what you do best, making us smile. I've been watching your videos for a long time and it hurts to hear you've been having a rough go of it. Keep your head above the water, Mr. Enter. We need people like you on here.
The OCD part hit me hard and your video on being chronically online was kinda life-changing for my perspecive (for better and worse). Your advice in end about not worrying so bad needlessly about tomorrow is something I needed to hear again and will probably hear countless more times like your Soul review because it helps to put me at ease. When you're focused your channel can really do amazing stuff, just make sure you don't lose it because most of your incidents happened because you've lost focus on what's important and went overboard on unrelated stuff.
I am slowly becoming a fan again. This is a good step forward. Keep it up Enter. You can beat this. Get stronger man and keep pushing. This is not a TH-cam apology but a massive self reflection and admitting to your mistakes.
The reason he gets so much hate is just that he says a cartoon someone likes is bad, even though it's his own opinion. This reminds me of the time I said I didn't like OK KO. Everyone hated me and treated me like I did some serious crime
@@redstreak9430 I mean the show had some potential, it just didn't do it right. There are some things I could have done to make it better but it's not my place to do so, and I'm not going to make a cartoon based on it because I already have one cartoon that I based on The Loud House. Well, it's not based on it, more as it inspired me to create my cartoon since both cartoons are different in every way. The only similarities are that the main character is a boy and he lives in a big family, but those are just minor things that no one will pick up
@@Nameless82284 oh for sure, Lakewood Plaza Turbo showed it could’ve worked. There’s a couple of things I felt they changed between the pilot and the final including having someone basically convince that bringing Stephanie Nadolny back was a bad idea but that’s a little tangent idk if I feel like going into. I really wanted to like the show past those issues since I do feel like it could’ve worked and it did have some stuff that I liked but overall, I think the show just didn’t live up to the hype outside of the crossovers.
@@redstreak9430 It's not the crossovers that are the problem, it's more than that. I could complain about what parts it was but it doesn't matter. The problem is that people hated me because I didn't like OK KO. I didn't say anything bad about the creator, I didn't harass them, and I didn't do anything. All I said was that I didn't like OK KO and everyone hated me. Look, they can like OK KO but it's my opinion that I don't like it.
You are one of the most human creators on this site. Thank you. Your attitude to your mistakes is very constructive and something that others should emulate. You have made some choices that weren’t good, but I immensely respect the way you reflect and most importantly grow from them. I remember early on when your videos had a lot of vitriol to the writers of bad shows, then people called it out, you acknowledged it and apologised for that and have never repeated it since. That’s awesome. If people did that the world would be a great place
You're definitely not the only one to have had problems with OCD during the pandemic era. I had my own issues beginning in 2021, and I'm still struggling through it now, almost two years later. It's insane, and it wrecks so much of life. I totally empathize with you on that. I've had the song Flawless from MLP stuck in my head lately, and while I know that some of the lyrics are... not good advice for real-world people, I think the line about how we are all works in progress hits home. That's all of us. We are simply not flawless, yet we try to improve. I'm a big proponent of forgiveness for those who ask for it. I've been watching you for 8 years, and even if you're not perfect, I'm gonna keep watching. Stay strong, Mr. Enter.
I don't have anything much to add. I just want to say, as a fellow OCD sufferer, it's good that you're learning and I'm sorry for what you were going through. Keep on keeping on,
Been supporting you since your mlp days and I relate to you alot, I am also autistic and I was sort of struggling with what all then entails when I found you and I must admit I havent seen all of your videos and you have made some i disagreed with in the past especially during the pandemic but everyone was scared and lost and I try not to hold that time against anyone... I am pretty proud of you I have watched you grow since I was in high school and I appreciate this owning up to stuff you have been doing lately. I know im not someone who matters but for what its worth I think despite the bumpy ride you are doing a great job and I hope you start feeling better soon.
I'm sorry you've had such a rough time of it these last few years. It sounds like you've been going through a lot. I've always liked your content, even the older stuff that you don't look back on too kindly. I appreciate that you're always trying to improve as a content creator and a person, and I for one, will be subscribed to see the rest of your journey, wherever it takes you.
You were one of the first TH-camrs I truly followed. I remember watching every Animated Atrocity in order, and watching the new videos as soon as they drop. My TH-cam account still shows your newest videos first in my recommended every time you upload. But most importantly, and quite ridiculously, you were my first cat’s favorite TH-camr. I would start watching a video in my room with the door closed, and maybe a minute in, she would be at the door, begging to be let in so she could watch too. She only did this with your videos. Whether or not I’ve always agreed with you is irrelevant. Your content has always spoken to me in a way others haven’t. I’m glad you’re still around and I wish only the best for your future. Thank you
Oh John… I seriously cannot put into words how much I appreciate this video and empathise with you on so many things. I too have had my ups and downs this year and so many others before it. Social anxiety, dysfunctional education, my Nana’s tragic passing, and even, like you, an incident of insomnia that I genuinely believed I was going to die from. I literally had to wait over a month for an appointment. And probably not helping was the fact that in the first days when I needed help the most, I turned to the internet for advice, and as a result I was bombarded with fatalistic and fear mongering BS that really didn’t help at all. I’ve grown a lot since then. But hey! Better to turn to personal support from loved ones and professionals face to face, rather than to depend on impersonal lifeless health sources seen online. So I guess we’re really not that different after all. I’m pursuing a better life and so are you. And I intend to carry on subscribing to you for a long time. Take care, my friend. Keep moving forward.
I've been in a similar situation for the past couple of years. Small world, I guess. Since 2019, I've been letting my anger get the best of me, saying extremely nasty things to people that I care the most about, being trapped in a seemingly endless creative rut I just couldn't dig myself out of, the tragic passing of my dog that been with me since I was 10 years old (I'm turning 25 this year), and worst of all, a drug induced accident that nearly cost me my life. This year, I strive to be a better person and get myself in a better situation no matter what happens. As for the future of subscribing to this channel, I'm not going anywhere. I've been subscribed since 2015, back when you were doing mainly MLP and SpongeBob videos. I look forward to seeing what you create this year and beyond!
Even i had that addiction you mentioned (going to the internet for inpersonal advice rather than talking face-to-face was something i whould never do again, plus it gives alot of stress, like ALOT :).
You’ve always been there for me through my childhood, your videos were always a distraction that would entertain me and make me happy. I’ve never gotten to talk to you or anything but still, you’ve always been one of my favourite TH-camrs
“My opinions don’t matter” I’d have to disagree cuz while one wouldn’t expect much from a guy who yells at SpongeBob for a living I have found that when you speak on social and political topics you say some real and interesting shit. I don’t always agree with your takes but I respect that you think for yourself and try to be objective
Thank you, Mr. Enter. Through all the drama and controversy, some deserved and some not, what keeps me watching is that you are clearly your own man. For example, maybe some of your opinions on COVID didn’t age well, but you clearly did a lot of research and were bold enough to present an alternative opinion that wasn’t insane and conspiratorial. You’ve owned up to your mistakes in the past and continue to do so. Also, your content consists of quality animation reviews, which is more than good enough to keep watching.
This may be a weird comparsion but I think metaphorically Breath of the Wild with it's weapon damaging system help me a bit with the idea of spending to much time worrying about losing something you stop enyoing having it like the moment I stop saving my good weapons for later and just starting using them in the moment, the game was way better.
This feels like every main protagonist gone evil kind of story. And I understand where that comes from. We all have certain struggles and we need to grow past them, me personally I have problems I'm trying to work through along with adjusting my personality so I dont come off as a total douche. It's really nice to see you try and improve yourself Enter. I hope it does you good by your word.
My father was never able to enjoy the good things in life because he was a tightwad who hated the world and did not like or trust anyone, he had it drilled in his head that he had to horde money and never trust anyone, he had it drilled in his head women are evil and children need to be whipped into submission, he was anti-social and lived like a hermit on his homestead. And so he off'd himself. Don't make the same mistake my father made, enjoy life and it's little pleasures, and enjoy good people.
Enter, I’ve seen so much shit about you on the internet but I always knew you’re a good soul. I don’t think you’ve done anything unforgivable. For some reason people latch onto the weirdest things, and we end up ignoring what’s important. Thanks for being here and for doing what you do.
I've been here since The Splinter when I was a high school freshman. I'm a social worker now. For better or worse you've been part of my life. There's nothing to forgive. I don't know you but I feel like we've grown together. It's being human.
So, I have been subscribed to you since 2016 and honestly I didn't even notice any of these "fuck ups" beyond internet reviewer has a mildly bad take and it's kind of funny. I'm glad you're still here. I'm glad you're doing better and working on being better.
I saw you going through the descent you went through in 2020 and I unsubscribed around the time of the Extra Credits review, which I deeply disagreed with. I’ve come to recognize that I’ve had a massive slide in my own mental health in recent times and I can identify a lot with your story. It’s heartening to hear you able to own up to your mistakes. I’ve always liked you because even if I disagreed with your takes, as I did starting in 2020, I found you sincere and passionate, and could tell you cared about what you find correct. I’m hoping I can come back to this channel in some way, because I’ve enjoyed it for quite a long time. It was actually the gaming channel notification that got me to see this.
@@Wyattporter Those are considered to be some of his best videos by people who don't even watch him, because of all the factual statements he put into them. They're not pro-consumer anymore
Hey Enter, you don't need to respond to this or anything, but let's just say I've been in a similar situation as you were the past few years regarding 2020, mental health, family, etc. I've watched your videos for a long time and have been a fan of your work because you are the most relatable person on TH-cam. As far as I know, you don't really need to apologize, at least to me. I've grown up with your videos since I've started watching them in high school. I'm glad that last year was better than years prior, and I only hope it goes up from here. Keep being awesome, and I hope you see this.
Sorry about your mother, Enter. Despite all of the downfalls and fails, we're still here for you the whole way through. Also, should "Regarding StarGiantProductions" be one of your worst videos or your best? 🤔
I’m gonna be blunt real quick, I did unsubscribe from you back in 2018 due to how angry you would get, but after when you posted your Talking About My Online Harassment video, I did feel bad about what you were going through and how people were treating you and I realized that I still do enjoy your work and decided to subscribe again. I don’t plan on going anywhere at any time soon. We all make mistakes Enter, but the important thing is learning from them which is exactly what you’re doing. I didn’t even leave when you posted your Covid videos because I guess back then when things were still a lot less certain, hearing someone talking about it was something that calmed my nerves. I never bought into all of that controversy because I always just saw it as a man expressing his opinions. It’s very mature of you to wanna change that way of thinking and want to better yourself. You’ve got passion Enter and I admire that. If something needs to be addressed, you will address it. You aren’t afraid to say what needs to be said. I do admire you Enter and I will continue to watch your videos as a fan of your work. Happy early ten year anniversary to your channel dude! Keep up the good work!
Honestly I think other creators could benefit from making videos like those. Some people are in fact ill-informed or think the people they're harassing act like they don't know who it is.
Those kind of people think that they’re invincible since they’re behind a computer screen and think that the person they’re talking about won’t notice, but they do notice and it can drive that particular person to the point of feeling the need to address it.
I've been following you since day 1. And I understand many of the things you've gone through. In some ways I believe we are kindred spirits in some way. No the same but similar. Either way you've been helping me since then and I'll continue to stick by you.
As someone with Autism myself, i understand how you feel. There have been times where i've burned goodwill with those i care about. I've followed you for some time and i'm truly impressed by your maturity. If you can persevere through this hardship, i know i can to.
The simple fact you were willing to acknowledge and critique your attitude towards the past few years shows that you have grown up a lot mentally. The past few years have been a hellish roller coaster for millions but very few have the maturity and grace to realize that their reactions towards the circumstances were the problem, not the circumstances themselves. Getting bitter and angry about something out of our control is just going to destroy us more on the inside and believe me when I say that as I'm guilty of that myself. You have developed so much as a TH-cam personality Enter, and to that, I tip my hat. May your 2023 be filled with hope.
For a guy who has OCD too. I feel for you man, when I watched avatar show, I couldn’t get so many annoying moments out of my head from it, but recently I’ve just been thinking about how it’s not real and just a cartoon and hopefully I’ll eventually get better.
The fact that you can look back at yourself and realize that you were wrong is a big step in changing your current / future self. Looking forward to seeing how you continue to progress.
I can relate to anger about quarantine jokes. I used to wanna hurt people for the generic quarantine jokes I saw everywhere because I was just sick of being reminded of it when I was trying to enjoy something unrelated. It took me a long time to see that among all the comments that were just milking quarantine depression for likes, there were also people who were just using comedy as a coping method.
you know, i was very put off by your videos during the pandemic and some others but this does make it feel alot better, glad you've reflected and most importantly feel happier now
I've been a fan of your's since 2019, and since then you've genuinely impressed and inspired me. Viewing your back catalogue was much more enjoyable than you would probably expect it to be, and my surprisingly decent mental state in 2020 honestly made those videos more forgivable. I'm ultimately left with one of the most honest, engaging and likeable creators around, someone I can actually somewhat trust. Thank you so much.
We cannot ignore our pasts but we also can't let it define our present and future. I have been having a very different past experience with life the past three weeks and several of the people around me are going through some really harsh events, possible losses, and mentalities that are really hard to be able to escape. I have been watching you for a few years now Enter and I greatly respect your tenacity and honesty when facing what can feel like a constant barrage of people and opinions against you just because you exist. You are an interesting and entertaining reviewer and you are one of my many inspirations on this site in not only what I talk about but how I deal with the sins of my own past. Never be ashamed or afraid of who you are, Johnathan.
I can relate as I have similar issues. You are one of the few troubled TH-camrs I have seen that have avoided completely ****ing their life up and managed to turn things around.
I know how that feels cause I have Apsergers, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and Schizophrenia. Sometimes a person's brain can be their worst enemy. And I also know the feeling of feeling nothing, not caring about anything, and being angry at everything. The past few years have been hell on a lot of people. Having Aspergers made that hell 10 times worse. I was angry just like Enter was. All we can do is learn from our past mistakes and try not to repeat them. For people with mental illnesses and disabilites, make sure you control your illness, don't let the illness control you. Best of luck to you Mr enter, keep fighting through this life and don't give up.
Stopped watching you during the pandemic and came back to see this. I’m glad you are doing better. Back when thepandemic started I needed that distraction And you weren’t there.😢 but I survived I grew I changed and I’m happy you have to. I still will not watch you because My tastes changed but I am proud of you .
Dispite everything I think you are a genuinely good person. You might not see this but I wanted to thank you for your content. I don't know what is is about yelling at yellow rectangles that cheered me up during rough times but it did
I've been following you since One Coarse Meal, and have rather religiously subscribed to your opinions about SpongeBob and many of the other cartoons you have reviewed, and I still do to a large extent (the only videos I haven't seen are ones of cartoons I haven't seen or don't care about). I remember reading your "Pluto is a planet" journal with shock and disgust at how horrible your life was, and I'll not lie that I have wished grievous harm on others, especially in my horrible job at Kroger where I'm constantly overworked and underappreciated, and many of my trauma at my current job comes from my horrible experience at FedEx. Like, seriously, so much of the things you said have been things I have also said and done in the past 3 years and I'm honestly scared by this fact and how you've described your thought process. Especially the loss of your mother. My best friend from college lost his mother to a sudden heart attack out of nowhere just before Thanksgiving 2021, and he's still not ok, and neither am I nor our friend circle to a large extent. My friend can't even think about Scooby-Doo anymore because she was such a huge fan. I gave her a DVD of The 13 Ghosts and the sequel movie for Christmas in 2020 in the hopes we would watch it together...and we never did. I bounced between jobs for the last 3 years until I landed at Amazon, where I remained for almost 2 years, until June of 2022 where an outburst at work got me fired. I got two jobs at Domino's as a driver and at Kroger as a deli clerk in the middle of July...and I got robbed at gunpoint while on the job at Domino's, where my car, phone, wallet, and my 3DS were stolen. The photos of my friend's mom's funeral, the Pokémon I have had since 2008, and so much more...all gone. I'll never get any of that back and I'll never forgive the robber, even if he's going to jail for at least a decade. And now, I feel in danger of losing my job because my stress is building up to a breaking point at work and my boss is blaming me even though it's all her fault that I'm overworked and under-rested. My family think's I'm a weak loser, and my friends have let our house become a dirty mess because they don't want to clean. But even now...I'm not checking out early, and I'm glad you're not either. You've been an inspiration to me, and you continue to do so. No matter what you've done, you've got back up and tried to be better every day, which already makes you better than most. I plan on being a patron for many years to come, and I hope you never give up, you're inspiring us to not give up either. Keep moving forward. I will. Thank you.
I have been a fan of yours since 2014 and have no intention of stopping now. Keep up the good work and be good to yourself. I sincerely hope the next few years of your life are good for you!
It's really nice for you to speak up and reflect about things you're going through and taking full accountability of your actions. Really hope this year will treat you better.
A really mature and well thought video. I'm glad to see you're doing better, despite the Ups and downs, I've always considered you and your channel worth it. Wishing you an even better 2023.
I’ve been watching since basically the beginning… Your Johnny’s Royal Flush video, I think? So I’ve seen/stuck around through pretty much everything. Regardless of how our views may/may not align, I hope things go well for you in 2023 and beyond. :>
2023 seems to be a year of great reflection for many people already. I'm glad that you're walking a path of self healing. I've...commented from time to time, watched a lot of your older stuff, drifted away when things got less to my taste...but I am glad to hear you're growing forward, I look forward to seeing what comes next for you and your channel. Good luck.
Wow, man, this video is heartbreaking because I have Asperger's syndrome and OCD too and I went through something similar too I'm so sorry to hear about your mom that's so sad because I love my mom very much too and I always think of her
The past few years have been a wild ride for me, and your content helped me through. When I’d thought I’d never get out of the group home, I’d pick a video and watch until I felt better. I remember watching your lion king video and crying because I’d realized how far I’d come since being put in the group home. Now it’s 2023, I live on my own and I’m getting ready to petition the court to get my guardianship back. Thank you for making videos, they were a bright spot during some rough times.
Bro ive been watching since i discovered TH-cam your videos got me out of my darkest moments for that i thank you and ill continue watching also to all the haters out there let go of the past mistakes of a human being especially if you don't know the person beyond the videos they make a human is more than what they make
This video genuinely made me tear up. I've been watching your channel since 2018 or so and throughout all that time I've considered you to be one of my favorite content creators, and I can empathize with quite a few of your struggles. Growing up with autism and (suspected) OCD, having an abusive and isolated childhood, being angry or apathetic the majority of the time. It's been a little surreal watching your content evolve over the years, and it's brought me a lot of joy. A lot of things to think about and also laugh about. At being an entertainer I genuinely feel like you've succeeded, even with all the bumps in the road. I can only hope 2023 will be better.

It’s not much but I want to give you something to show my appreciation. I’ve been watching you since 2017 and I don’t intend to stop. I remember when your were just celebrating your five year anniversary. But I want to say thank you for being the one who made me fall in love with animation. Thank you for being the one who made me think critically about art. Thank you for pushing me to pursue my own creative endeavors. And just thank you for being the one who made me begin to think differently.
If I could give you more than this I would, and I hope you keep going. I’ve stuck with you this long I’m not leaving now
Thank you very much.
I think I remember his 5th anniversary at that time as well.
You know, despite all the missteps and struggles you’ve had over the years, I always respected how passionate and resilient you are through it all. I also like how you’re taking your more biggest screwups in stride and am trying to grow from them, instead of dwelling on them
It’s been a wild ride.
Agreed
Amen to that
Kudos, Enter.
Definitely passionate
I agree. I have a massive respect for how much Enter has been able to shrug things off and keep doing. I've gotten into more mild drama and gotten criticism on a much smaller scale and it fucked me up more than it did for Enter, so it's really admirable. I know this is something of a cliche comment to leave for a TH-camr, but I'm never gonna stop watching. I've been a viewer since 2016 and don't really plan on stopping anytime soon.
You blew up in an era of outrage culture (Nostalgia Critic, "George Lucas R*ped My Childhood", Anonymous, etc). Its no wonder that in your early days you'd struggle understanding the line between criticism and aggression. Myself and my brother (who has aspergers) grew up on your videos and can guarantee you brought joy to people even if you had you detractors.
But times change and so does culture, so its wonderful to see you evolving and reflecting on the past. Im sorry you had such a hard run of it before, but Im so glad to see you've started to process it in a healthy way.
Been supporting you for a bit. Sorry you've been going through a lot. Best thing to do is to keep moving forward and just hold your head up high. We all make mistakes, we are not flawless beings. I wish you the best for 2023 and moving forward.
Holy crap Lois its ITalk, known for talking about Fortnite Battle Royal.
I swear it seems like no matter what you do, the internet wants your head on a platter. I've disagreed with several things you've said before in the past, but it's not worth getting you cancelled.
Regardless, I hope your mental state improves and you are happy with your life going forward. Take as much time as you need for videos, self-improvement is more important.
I believe without a shadow of a doubt that the Top 10 Worst Cartoons of the 2020's list WILL happen.
Thank you very much. Here's to hoping.
Even through the lowest moments I’ve always wanted to stand by you, cause deep down I genuinely have always felt with the amount slander people throw at you, especially from the past couple of years, so I’m certainly glad you’ve been reflecting on this, and I truly hope it puts you in a better position then you were in back when .
@@wuscheleichhornchen how?
I see you everywhere dude. You’re like Justin Y. You seem cool I guess.
@@wuscheleichhornchen You’re right, maybe you should bring that to someone who’d like to listen your points, cause sure don’t .
@@10Itoruna I though i was the only one who noticed, glad there are others who see him everywhere.
@@wuscheleichhornchen nah
Always appreciate someone who can acknowledge their mistakes and own up to them rather than trying to justify them
I don't like a damn thing you said during the pandemic and some of your past political takes have aged really poorly in my eyes, but I can respect that you seem to consistently own up to your mistakes given your track record
only criticism: try to make less mistakes in the future, it makes it awkward to like your content.
On another note:
Here's some money to thank you for all the years of content. I've been watching you since the mid-2010's and you're part of the reason i'm so passionate about storytelling to this day. I'm an aspiring author and general artist and I think i have you to thank for that.
Good luck out there.
I'd have given more if I could afford it atm
What I appreciate you among all the western animation TH-camrs is despite finding the hate you get unjustified, you still strive to be a better person. And it often shows. Also from a fan who also recently turned 30. Here's hoping your 30s be a bright decade for you.
Hey MrEnter, it’s nice to hear videos like this as to show how much you’ve grown with the world around you. Like you said, nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. You are really relatable and are still one of my favorite youtubers. I’ve been a fan since your Norm of the North review.
Keep Moving Forward Mr.Enter
5:47 "This angry person that I was is not something I want to be." That hit FAR towards home for me. All my life, I've had incidents where I hurt people that didn't deserve to be hurt, physically and verbally. I thought after high school, I was fine to just roll with everything, but recently I had an incident with a co-worker of mine, a petty argument that cost me my job. And hearing this line from someone else who also had these issues, it helps me feel that I'm not on my own with this in some way. And the line, "Don't be sorry - be better," is also a good motto to live by, because that's something I try to do every day and something I hope to do until my time is done.
But how can you be better when the world won't let you be better because it's too late?
I’ve been with you since 2017 and I’m so sorry with everything that’s been going on.Thank you for all that you’ve done and you continue to be one of my favorite TH-camrs.
edit:thanks for the heart in advance
Being honest with you mr enter a lot the hate you get is unwarranted like it mostly around bad takes on animated shows that about it, which are usually over reactions.
I agree, i do think he has bad takes sometimes but the response to them is a little too much
@@mrminecraftcubeable And you can argue the bad animation takes were mostly overreaction on mr enter end
@@tompossessed1729 Maybe in Rise of the TMNT, but in Shnookums & Meat and Thundercats Roar he's right.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 Absolutely and he was kinds proven right with the raise of tmnt since everyone is disappointed in it
I used to be a fan of your content but drifted away not for any particular reason or fault of yours but I've always maintained that you get WAY too much flack for no real reason.
I wasn’t diagnosed with ASD and OCD until late 2021, and 2022 gave me a whole new perspective on life. This video, as well as your 2020 pandemic videos really struck a chord with me. Even though I didn’t know at the time that I was autistic, I was struggling with intrusive thoughts and loneliness throughout the past few years. Thank you Mr. Enter for telling me that I’m not alone in my problems, even if not by intention.
As someone who’s been around for those 10-9 years you’ve been on TH-cam, all the way since you were an MLP reviewer, I say from the bottom of my heart, you and your content has provided me both laughs and deep thoughts alike. Thank you Mr. Enter.
I am not the type to be won over by pity or social opening up. However, whatever drama or mis-steps you make, I recognize the effort you put into it. Here is small something to encourage you to keep pursuing those Muses.
I've always believed that, beneath everything else, you've always been a good person at heart. I think we have a lot in common, actually. These past few years have bene hard on a lot of us, and too often quite a few of us felt like we were in a no-win situation. Through all of it, I'm glad you're still here with us. And from one content creator to the other, I truly wish you all the best in what hopefully is a very long future for you.
We are all human, John. I work in hospital security and got a front row seat to how the pandemic broke a lot of people, so I can completely understand how it got to you as well. I won’t go into my own troubles during the same period of time, but suffice to say that I also understand a lot of what you were going through on a more direct level.
It was your Lion King 2019 review that really struck me on a personal level. Your portrayal of talking with your younger selves actually made me step back and look at my own life at the time…and for the first time in a long time start appreciating how far I’d come and actively take steps to continue getting better. That I’ve sought treatment for some of my issues and improved my life as a result I partly owe to you, so thank you. I wish you all the best
What pandemic is he talking about? I keep hearing references to it but everything seems fine?
Despite disagreeing with many things you've said in a lot of videos, I never liked the negative discourse around you and I always admired how resilient you are in general. I don't think many people would have to deal with that and still continue making videos. I always had a feeling that a lot of your outbursts toward people were fueling by your animosity of the world events, and I do understand that, I feel like even though this year has started we're all dealing with the aftermath of it. As someone who also has OCD and is a germaphobe I can sorta relate, not in the same way, maybe not even the same circumstance or that extreme, but I get very antsy about being sanitary and organize to consider clean. I always have to have a bottle of disinfectant spray beside my desktop and inside my car. In many ways you were a influential creator in the animation reviewing community despite the many missteps you've had. Happy 10 years Mr. Enter!
“Don’t be sorry, do better”
I’m going to use that in the future
I've been here since 2014 and honestly, despite the missteps, I've stuck around because I genuinely wouldn't be where I am in life if not for your early videos changing the trajectory of my passion for animation and children's media. I went from being a 16 year old with no clue what he wanted to do, to being 25 now and actually working in children's books. And I'm pretty sure I watched every one of your videos along the way, even ones I disagreed with. Everything at least got me to think and grow a little bit. And dang it, you're still changing my life. I started watching Bluey after your Admirable Animation and the showcase of Sleepytime, and now it's part of my daily routine. :P So thanks for that! Looking forward to what you do next, as always.
2020 almost broke me too, man. 2022 was the one that ended up breaking me (it was the invasion, along with the implications that came with it). It sent me into a spiral of fear that was so close to being the end for me. I had a “plan” and everything.
But, to put a long story short, I had a religious experience and looked into different churches for peace. I just accepted the fact that I know nothing and just surrendered my will to God’s. I’m receiving my first Eucharist in the Catholic Church this Easter. I’ve still got a lot of work to do on myself, but I’ve honestly never been happier or more at peace.
I don’t know what the answer is going to be for you. But you are not alone in the problems you’ve been facing in the past few years, and you WILL get better. Things WILL get better for you and all of us. Just have faith and take care of yourself and the people who love you. I think we’ve gotten to the point where we do not need weekly uploads from you. We just need you to be happy and healthy.
God bless.
Stupid measures
Thank you so much for the description of OCD. I’ve had it since childhood, and it got immeasurably worse in my later teens and early 20s. It really is like have an enemy in your mind constantly attacking, constantly chipping away at who you are. It knows what hurts you the most, and it can follow your train of thought, ruining happy moments before they even really start. Again, you described it wonderfully, so thank you. And also, my condolences, as I know firsthand exactly what it’s like.
As a person with autism, I can relate to the OCD thing.
Where I am constantly paranoid of minor things that really aren't that big a deal.
Actually, not everyone with autism can relate to the OCD thing (i have autism too), and personally even though i don't have that i can still relate since i always thought about messed up things when my mom died :( from an serious disease which ofcourse i don't need to mention for people like me who should'nt hear about diseases.
But thankfully i and my stepmotger and Dad are never unlucky when it comes to those things :)
Sorry that it got personal i just had to share it
I know I’m VERY late to the party here, but I just heard about this video after discussing your content with a friend. I have to say that I don’t blame you at all.
The pandemic years were hard on all of us. I was personally denying my need for therapy and spiraled so deep into isolation, fear, and hatred that my mental health was deemed an emergency situation and I was sent to therapy as an intervention, but that’s another story. What matters most is that we admit when and how we fucked up and work to change, and it looks like this has been the turning point where you’ve clawed your way out of stagnation.
I’m proud of you, Enter. Keep it up.
Watching Joon the King's video was like a nostalgia trip but in the worst way. I've been following your stuff nearly since the beginning. Seeing the few highs and massive amount of lows. I had a few phases where I ironically and then unironically enjoyed your videos. While Nick-O-Rama wasn't perfect it was something your channel needed. Even if it didn't meet it's deadline it was extremely interesting. It brought me back, and then I dropped from your channel a bit, but now I think I'll be back to watch your vids. Catch up on the rest of your most recent videos and all that.
While my opinion of you changed a lot over the years, I'm glad you didn't become someone like Spoony, who just spent tweeting in a void and eventually being absent from the internet, but you haven't given up, no matter how much has happened. Clay Claymore, Growing Around's Indigogo campaign, Turkey Tom's slander, the pandemic vids, the Turning Red review, all of those being hard hitting to your reputation but I'm happy that you never gave up, ever. You inspire me in a way to keep going.
Thanks John, Here's to being better
Thanks a lot for talking about this; it really helps to hear how you’ve been really doing and a retrospective of all the awful nonsense you’ve been going through. I have a super hard time paying attention to things that actually matter and getting too obsessed with dumb stuff as well but hearing how you described it really puts everything into perspective; you were honestly the first TH-camr I really consistently watched and the only one I still do and this is why I’ve stuck around, your ability to break complex things down and introspect in order to make broader points. I’m not trying to say you’re super amazing because this is a sadder/more serious video and that’s what people comment on these, I just think it’s amazing how you’re able to do that and it’s always helped me
Yo pufferfish
Fancy seeing you here. Glad you’re still alive and well.
I hope this year goes better for you.
Though puberty and a breaking point of exhaustion helped with intrusive thoughts a lot, or at least reset them, I know how horrible they can be in any manifestation and I'm glad you at least have the information to identify them, even if they are habit forming & hard to resist.
I went back to this video a year later after coming to similar epiphanies after many years of being heavily broken and traumatised. I’ve been reawakened after the New Year thanks to having multiple epiphanies on the daily.
Thank you once again, Mr. Enter. This video helped me feel that I am not as alone as I think. I see myself in you. Many of what you said struck close to me. I had felt many of the things you have felt. I felt seen.
I too want to focus on healing and reevaluation. All I knew was that I had to be and feel better, and that I only started.
Happy 10 years Mr. Enter. I understand how you felt about 2020. I’ve been watching your channel for 10 years and the thing is, we ALL have our fair share of fuck-ups. I’m also sorry to hear of the passing of your late mother & grandmother. The fact that you admit your wrongs is what a true man would do. Those who do the opposite are narcissistic cowards. I’m still here for you & we all are. You are NOT alone. Well said old friend. You have our blessing.
I have made mistakes too. My grandmother and my great grandma died too so I can kinda see where he’s coming from.
Dude, I can totally relate to what you've been going through the past several years. At times I felt like I started developing symptoms of PTSD during the pandemic.
I wish you the best of luck in the time ahead.
Enter, I'm sorry about all of the stuff that has happened in the last few years, but to cheer you up as it were, i have to say you are an inspiration to me. Your reviews and take on fiction have helped me be a better writer, and even though not popular, I liked your political videos as well. Cheers to ten years and to the Rollercoaster ride that is life.
I know this is a late comment, but...
I've been following your work since 2013 or 2014. I've always appreciated your content, even though I've often disagreed with you or found things you've said questionable. However, I've always stuck with you because, through all the ups and downs, the one thing you've always consistently done is be genuine. Through it all, I've never gotten the impression that you were a fake person - you've always presented yourself honestly, even if you were wrong. Through your mistakes, you've shown a significant drive to change and do better, which means you're worth trusting and you're worth second chances.
I wish you the best going forward, look forward to seeing how your content continues to develop, and always remember that you still have many people ready to support you. Take care of yourself, Enter ✌️
Something to be said about a person who isn’t afraid of speaking their mind. It’s something I have always respected about your content. I also get the amount of difficulty and challenge this world has taken on many people. I myself have taken some solid blows to my mental state let alone everything else. So hearing this heart filled apology has actually him me as more of a thank you. Well I should say, thank you! For those of us who actually enjoy your content this means a lot! And personally I can’t wait to hear your opinions on more content!
Wow, I wasn't expecting one of these. 0:04 Also, congratulations on almost reaching 10 years on this TH-cam channel!
I appreciate your brutal honesty in this video. It can be really tough to come to terms with oneself (I'm struggling to do the same) and it's really encouraging to see someone doing it themselves. I've been watching your vids for around 5 years and will continue to support your content. Hope you're doing well right now.
During the Pandem, I decided that since you thought masks did nothing, that you were taking something I was forced into taking seriously as a joke. I said many mean things to you, probably even brought it up to harassment. Can I just say i'm sorry? I didn't want to be the person I was then. Now that it's (basically) over, I too realize just how shitty a person I was to anyone who didn't confirm to *my* standards on taking the pandemic seriously.
You've always meant a lot to me since I found you as a young lad in Autumn 2013, helped me through dark times. Take care
I think sometimes we forget that TH-camrs are human too. That there's a real person behind the voice on the screen. It's strangely humbling. I hope you keep doing what you do best, making us smile. I've been watching your videos for a long time and it hurts to hear you've been having a rough go of it. Keep your head above the water, Mr. Enter. We need people like you on here.
10 years. Wow
The OCD part hit me hard and your video on being chronically online was kinda life-changing for my perspecive (for better and worse). Your advice in end about not worrying so bad needlessly about tomorrow is something I needed to hear again and will probably hear countless more times like your Soul review because it helps to put me at ease. When you're focused your channel can really do amazing stuff, just make sure you don't lose it because most of your incidents happened because you've lost focus on what's important and went overboard on unrelated stuff.
I am slowly becoming a fan again. This is a good step forward. Keep it up Enter. You can beat this. Get stronger man and keep pushing. This is not a TH-cam apology but a massive self reflection and admitting to your mistakes.
between you and me Enter, theres nothing to forgive, cause you never wronged me.
The reason he gets so much hate is just that he says a cartoon someone likes is bad, even though it's his own opinion. This reminds me of the time I said I didn't like OK KO. Everyone hated me and treated me like I did some serious crime
@@Nameless82284 and jokes on them because many people are slowly realizing the show is kinda mid outside of some crossover episodes.
@@redstreak9430 I mean the show had some potential, it just didn't do it right. There are some things I could have done to make it better but it's not my place to do so, and I'm not going to make a cartoon based on it because I already have one cartoon that I based on The Loud House. Well, it's not based on it, more as it inspired me to create my cartoon since both cartoons are different in every way. The only similarities are that the main character is a boy and he lives in a big family, but those are just minor things that no one will pick up
@@Nameless82284 oh for sure, Lakewood Plaza Turbo showed it could’ve worked. There’s a couple of things I felt they changed between the pilot and the final including having someone basically convince that bringing Stephanie Nadolny back was a bad idea but that’s a little tangent idk if I feel like going into. I really wanted to like the show past those issues since I do feel like it could’ve worked and it did have some stuff that I liked but overall, I think the show just didn’t live up to the hype outside of the crossovers.
@@redstreak9430 It's not the crossovers that are the problem, it's more than that. I could complain about what parts it was but it doesn't matter. The problem is that people hated me because I didn't like OK KO. I didn't say anything bad about the creator, I didn't harass them, and I didn't do anything. All I said was that I didn't like OK KO and everyone hated me. Look, they can like OK KO but it's my opinion that I don't like it.
I like you, dude, regardless of said bullshit, you're still a great TH-camr.
You are one of the most human creators on this site. Thank you. Your attitude to your mistakes is very constructive and something that others should emulate. You have made some choices that weren’t good, but I immensely respect the way you reflect and most importantly grow from them. I remember early on when your videos had a lot of vitriol to the writers of bad shows, then people called it out, you acknowledged it and apologised for that and have never repeated it since. That’s awesome. If people did that the world would be a great place
You're definitely not the only one to have had problems with OCD during the pandemic era. I had my own issues beginning in 2021, and I'm still struggling through it now, almost two years later. It's insane, and it wrecks so much of life. I totally empathize with you on that.
I've had the song Flawless from MLP stuck in my head lately, and while I know that some of the lyrics are... not good advice for real-world people, I think the line about how we are all works in progress hits home. That's all of us. We are simply not flawless, yet we try to improve. I'm a big proponent of forgiveness for those who ask for it. I've been watching you for 8 years, and even if you're not perfect, I'm gonna keep watching. Stay strong, Mr. Enter.
I don't have anything much to add. I just want to say, as a fellow OCD sufferer, it's good that you're learning and I'm sorry for what you were going through. Keep on keeping on,
Been here from the beginning, not about to leave now, my dude. You’ve ONLY grown. I’m glad for you. Keep up the great work‼️
Yeah. 2020 2021 and 2022 were all shitty for me too. I know that anger
I couldn’t agree more.
As someone who has watched your entire channel I'm truly happy that you're slowly getting better and learning from your mistakes
Been supporting you since your mlp days and I relate to you alot, I am also autistic and I was sort of struggling with what all then entails when I found you and I must admit I havent seen all of your videos and you have made some i disagreed with in the past especially during the pandemic but everyone was scared and lost and I try not to hold that time against anyone... I am pretty proud of you I have watched you grow since I was in high school and I appreciate this owning up to stuff you have been doing lately. I know im not someone who matters but for what its worth I think despite the bumpy ride you are doing a great job and I hope you start feeling better soon.
I'm sorry you've had such a rough time of it these last few years. It sounds like you've been going through a lot. I've always liked your content, even the older stuff that you don't look back on too kindly. I appreciate that you're always trying to improve as a content creator and a person, and I for one, will be subscribed to see the rest of your journey, wherever it takes you.
You were one of the first TH-camrs I truly followed. I remember watching every Animated Atrocity in order, and watching the new videos as soon as they drop. My TH-cam account still shows your newest videos first in my recommended every time you upload. But most importantly, and quite ridiculously, you were my first cat’s favorite TH-camr. I would start watching a video in my room with the door closed, and maybe a minute in, she would be at the door, begging to be let in so she could watch too. She only did this with your videos.
Whether or not I’ve always agreed with you is irrelevant. Your content has always spoken to me in a way others haven’t. I’m glad you’re still around and I wish only the best for your future. Thank you
Oh John… I seriously cannot put into words how much I appreciate this video and empathise with you on so many things.
I too have had my ups and downs this year and so many others before it. Social anxiety, dysfunctional education, my Nana’s tragic passing, and even, like you, an incident of insomnia that I genuinely believed I was going to die from.
I literally had to wait over a month for an appointment. And probably not helping was the fact that in the first days when I needed help the most, I turned to the internet for advice, and as a result I was bombarded with fatalistic and fear mongering BS that really didn’t help at all.
I’ve grown a lot since then. But hey! Better to turn to personal support from loved ones and professionals face to face, rather than to depend on impersonal lifeless health sources seen online.
So I guess we’re really not that different after all. I’m pursuing a better life and so are you. And I intend to carry on subscribing to you for a long time.
Take care, my friend. Keep moving forward.
I've been in a similar situation for the past couple of years. Small world, I guess. Since 2019, I've been letting my anger get the best of me, saying extremely nasty things to people that I care the most about, being trapped in a seemingly endless creative rut I just couldn't dig myself out of, the tragic passing of my dog that been with me since I was 10 years old (I'm turning 25 this year), and worst of all, a drug induced accident that nearly cost me my life. This year, I strive to be a better person and get myself in a better situation no matter what happens.
As for the future of subscribing to this channel, I'm not going anywhere. I've been subscribed since 2015, back when you were doing mainly MLP and SpongeBob videos. I look forward to seeing what you create this year and beyond!
Even i had that addiction you mentioned (going to the internet for inpersonal advice rather than talking face-to-face was something i whould never do again, plus it gives alot of stress, like ALOT :).
You’ve always been there for me through my childhood, your videos were always a distraction that would entertain me and make me happy. I’ve never gotten to talk to you or anything but still, you’ve always been one of my favourite TH-camrs
“My opinions don’t matter” I’d have to disagree cuz while one wouldn’t expect much from a guy who yells at SpongeBob for a living I have found that when you speak on social and political topics you say some real and interesting shit. I don’t always agree with your takes but I respect that you think for yourself and try to be objective
Thank you, Mr. Enter. Through all the drama and controversy, some deserved and some not, what keeps me watching is that you are clearly your own man. For example, maybe some of your opinions on COVID didn’t age well, but you clearly did a lot of research and were bold enough to present an alternative opinion that wasn’t insane and conspiratorial. You’ve owned up to your mistakes in the past and continue to do so. Also, your content consists of quality animation reviews, which is more than good enough to keep watching.
I applaud you for always trying to improve yourself.
This may be a weird comparsion but I think metaphorically Breath of the Wild with it's weapon damaging system help me a bit with the idea of spending to much time worrying about losing something you stop enyoing having it like the moment I stop saving my good weapons for later and just starting using them in the moment, the game was way better.
This feels like every main protagonist gone evil kind of story. And I understand where that comes from. We all have certain struggles and we need to grow past them, me personally I have problems I'm trying to work through along with adjusting my personality so I dont come off as a total douche.
It's really nice to see you try and improve yourself Enter. I hope it does you good by your word.
My father was never able to enjoy the good things in life because he was a tightwad who hated the world and did not like or trust anyone, he had it drilled in his head that he had to horde money and never trust anyone, he had it drilled in his head women are evil and children need to be whipped into submission, he was anti-social and lived like a hermit on his homestead. And so he off'd himself.
Don't make the same mistake my father made, enjoy life and it's little pleasures, and enjoy good people.
I’m sorry to hear that :(
Enter, I’ve seen so much shit about you on the internet but I always knew you’re a good soul. I don’t think you’ve done anything unforgivable. For some reason people latch onto the weirdest things, and we end up ignoring what’s important. Thanks for being here and for doing what you do.
I've been here since The Splinter when I was a high school freshman. I'm a social worker now. For better or worse you've been part of my life. There's nothing to forgive. I don't know you but I feel like we've grown together. It's being human.
So, I have been subscribed to you since 2016 and honestly I didn't even notice any of these "fuck ups" beyond internet reviewer has a mildly bad take and it's kind of funny.
I'm glad you're still here. I'm glad you're doing better and working on being better.
I saw you going through the descent you went through in 2020 and I unsubscribed around the time of the Extra Credits review, which I deeply disagreed with. I’ve come to recognize that I’ve had a massive slide in my own mental health in recent times and I can identify a lot with your story. It’s heartening to hear you able to own up to your mistakes. I’ve always liked you because even if I disagreed with your takes, as I did starting in 2020, I found you sincere and passionate, and could tell you cared about what you find correct. I’m hoping I can come back to this channel in some way, because I’ve enjoyed it for quite a long time. It was actually the gaming channel notification that got me to see this.
That was his best video(s)
@@theinternetexplorer618 I really disagree
@@Wyattporter Those are considered to be some of his best videos by people who don't even watch him, because of all the factual statements he put into them.
They're not pro-consumer anymore
Righteous anger against evil people is nothing to be ashamed of. These people ruined our country for 2 years
Hey Enter, you don't need to respond to this or anything, but let's just say I've been in a similar situation as you were the past few years regarding 2020, mental health, family, etc. I've watched your videos for a long time and have been a fan of your work because you are the most relatable person on TH-cam. As far as I know, you don't really need to apologize, at least to me. I've grown up with your videos since I've started watching them in high school. I'm glad that last year was better than years prior, and I only hope it goes up from here. Keep being awesome, and I hope you see this.
Happy 10 years John I been watching you since 2014 I’m so happy you are still making videos Prying for the Future for you
Sorry about your mother, Enter. Despite all of the downfalls and fails, we're still here for you the whole way through.
Also, should "Regarding StarGiantProductions" be one of your worst videos or your best? 🤔
Let's just not throw that in, okay? ^^
I think that's a video in its own category.
I’m gonna be blunt real quick, I did unsubscribe from you back in 2018 due to how angry you would get, but after when you posted your Talking About My Online Harassment video, I did feel bad about what you were going through and how people were treating you and I realized that I still do enjoy your work and decided to subscribe again. I don’t plan on going anywhere at any time soon. We all make mistakes Enter, but the important thing is learning from them which is exactly what you’re doing. I didn’t even leave when you posted your Covid videos because I guess back then when things were still a lot less certain, hearing someone talking about it was something that calmed my nerves. I never bought into all of that controversy because I always just saw it as a man expressing his opinions. It’s very mature of you to wanna change that way of thinking and want to better yourself. You’ve got passion Enter and I admire that. If something needs to be addressed, you will address it. You aren’t afraid to say what needs to be said. I do admire you Enter and I will continue to watch your videos as a fan of your work. Happy early ten year anniversary to your channel dude! Keep up the good work!
Honestly I think other creators could benefit from making videos like those. Some people are in fact ill-informed or think the people they're harassing act like they don't know who it is.
Those kind of people think that they’re invincible since they’re behind a computer screen and think that the person they’re talking about won’t notice, but they do notice and it can drive that particular person to the point of feeling the need to address it.
I've been following you since day 1. And I understand many of the things you've gone through. In some ways I believe we are kindred spirits in some way. No the same but similar. Either way you've been helping me since then and I'll continue to stick by you.
As someone with Autism myself, i understand how you feel. There have been times where i've burned goodwill with those i care about. I've followed you for some time and i'm truly impressed by your maturity. If you can persevere through this hardship, i know i can to.
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” -Matt 6 34
Thank you for that verse.
God bless you friend.
Thanks!
The simple fact you were willing to acknowledge and critique your attitude towards the past few years shows that you have grown up a lot mentally. The past few years have been a hellish roller coaster for millions but very few have the maturity and grace to realize that their reactions towards the circumstances were the problem, not the circumstances themselves. Getting bitter and angry about something out of our control is just going to destroy us more on the inside and believe me when I say that as I'm guilty of that myself.
You have developed so much as a TH-cam personality Enter, and to that, I tip my hat. May your 2023 be filled with hope.
For a guy who has OCD too. I feel for you man, when I watched avatar show, I couldn’t get so many annoying moments out of my head from it, but recently I’ve just been thinking about how it’s not real and just a cartoon and hopefully I’ll eventually get better.
The fact that you can look back at yourself and realize that you were wrong is a big step in changing your current / future self. Looking forward to seeing how you continue to progress.
I can relate to anger about quarantine jokes. I used to wanna hurt people for the generic quarantine jokes I saw everywhere because I was just sick of being reminded of it when I was trying to enjoy something unrelated. It took me a long time to see that among all the comments that were just milking quarantine depression for likes, there were also people who were just using comedy as a coping method.
you know, i was very put off by your videos during the pandemic and some others
but this does make it feel alot better, glad you've reflected and most importantly feel happier now
I've been a fan of your's since 2019, and since then you've genuinely impressed and inspired me. Viewing your back catalogue was much more enjoyable than you would probably expect it to be, and my surprisingly decent mental state in 2020 honestly made those videos more forgivable. I'm ultimately left with one of the most honest, engaging and likeable creators around, someone I can actually somewhat trust. Thank you so much.
We cannot ignore our pasts but we also can't let it define our present and future. I have been having a very different past experience with life the past three weeks and several of the people around me are going through some really harsh events, possible losses, and mentalities that are really hard to be able to escape. I have been watching you for a few years now Enter and I greatly respect your tenacity and honesty when facing what can feel like a constant barrage of people and opinions against you just because you exist. You are an interesting and entertaining reviewer and you are one of my many inspirations on this site in not only what I talk about but how I deal with the sins of my own past. Never be ashamed or afraid of who you are, Johnathan.
I can relate as I have similar issues.
You are one of the few troubled TH-camrs I have seen that have avoided completely ****ing their life up and managed to turn things around.
I know how that feels cause I have Apsergers, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and Schizophrenia. Sometimes a person's brain can be their worst enemy. And I also know the feeling of feeling nothing, not caring about anything, and being angry at everything. The past few years have been hell on a lot of people. Having Aspergers made that hell 10 times worse. I was angry just like Enter was. All we can do is learn from our past mistakes and try not to repeat them. For people with mental illnesses and disabilites, make sure you control your illness, don't let the illness control you. Best of luck to you Mr enter, keep fighting through this life and don't give up.
Stopped watching you during the pandemic and came back to see this. I’m glad you are doing better. Back when thepandemic started I needed that distraction And you weren’t there.😢 but I survived I grew I changed and I’m happy you have to. I still will not watch you because My tastes changed but I am proud of you .
Dispite everything I think you are a genuinely good person. You might not see this but I wanted to thank you for your content. I don't know what is is about yelling at yellow rectangles that cheered me up during rough times but it did
I've been following you since One Coarse Meal, and have rather religiously subscribed to your opinions about SpongeBob and many of the other cartoons you have reviewed, and I still do to a large extent (the only videos I haven't seen are ones of cartoons I haven't seen or don't care about). I remember reading your "Pluto is a planet" journal with shock and disgust at how horrible your life was, and I'll not lie that I have wished grievous harm on others, especially in my horrible job at Kroger where I'm constantly overworked and underappreciated, and many of my trauma at my current job comes from my horrible experience at FedEx.
Like, seriously, so much of the things you said have been things I have also said and done in the past 3 years and I'm honestly scared by this fact and how you've described your thought process.
Especially the loss of your mother. My best friend from college lost his mother to a sudden heart attack out of nowhere just before Thanksgiving 2021, and he's still not ok, and neither am I nor our friend circle to a large extent. My friend can't even think about Scooby-Doo anymore because she was such a huge fan. I gave her a DVD of The 13 Ghosts and the sequel movie for Christmas in 2020 in the hopes we would watch it together...and we never did.
I bounced between jobs for the last 3 years until I landed at Amazon, where I remained for almost 2 years, until June of 2022 where an outburst at work got me fired. I got two jobs at Domino's as a driver and at Kroger as a deli clerk in the middle of July...and I got robbed at gunpoint while on the job at Domino's, where my car, phone, wallet, and my 3DS were stolen. The photos of my friend's mom's funeral, the Pokémon I have had since 2008, and so much more...all gone. I'll never get any of that back and I'll never forgive the robber, even if he's going to jail for at least a decade.
And now, I feel in danger of losing my job because my stress is building up to a breaking point at work and my boss is blaming me even though it's all her fault that I'm overworked and under-rested. My family think's I'm a weak loser, and my friends have let our house become a dirty mess because they don't want to clean.
But even now...I'm not checking out early, and I'm glad you're not either. You've been an inspiration to me, and you continue to do so. No matter what you've done, you've got back up and tried to be better every day, which already makes you better than most.
I plan on being a patron for many years to come, and I hope you never give up, you're inspiring us to not give up either.
Keep moving forward.
I will.
Thank you.
I have been a fan of yours since 2014 and have no intention of stopping now. Keep up the good work and be good to yourself.
I sincerely hope the next few years of your life are good for you!
It's really nice for you to speak up and reflect about things you're going through and taking full accountability of your actions. Really hope this year will treat you better.
Commentary channels always go after you and when they're proven wrong, they pretend they never said anything.
A really mature and well thought video. I'm glad to see you're doing better, despite the Ups and downs, I've always considered you and your channel worth it. Wishing you an even better 2023.
This might not mean a lot, but I've loved your videos for a long time. I remember dying of laughter watching your 12oz mouse review back in the day.
I’ve been watching since basically the beginning… Your Johnny’s Royal Flush video, I think? So I’ve seen/stuck around through pretty much everything. Regardless of how our views may/may not align, I hope things go well for you in 2023 and beyond. :>
2023 seems to be a year of great reflection for many people already. I'm glad that you're walking a path of self healing. I've...commented from time to time, watched a lot of your older stuff, drifted away when things got less to my taste...but I am glad to hear you're growing forward, I look forward to seeing what comes next for you and your channel. Good luck.
Wow, man, this video is heartbreaking because I have Asperger's syndrome and OCD too and I went through something similar too I'm so sorry to hear about your mom that's so sad because I love my mom very much too and I always think of her
Your channel has always been a go to comfort channel for me.
The past few years have been a wild ride for me, and your content helped me through. When I’d thought I’d never get out of the group home, I’d pick a video and watch until I felt better. I remember watching your lion king video and crying because I’d realized how far I’d come since being put in the group home. Now it’s 2023, I live on my own and I’m getting ready to petition the court to get my guardianship back. Thank you for making videos, they were a bright spot during some rough times.
I’m sorry for all that’s happened to you. I’m happy to see you move forward and grow from all of this. You will be in my prayers.
Bro ive been watching since i discovered TH-cam your videos got me out of my darkest moments for that i thank you and ill continue watching also to all the haters out there let go of the past mistakes of a human being especially if you don't know the person beyond the videos they make a human is more than what they make
This video genuinely made me tear up. I've been watching your channel since 2018 or so and throughout all that time I've considered you to be one of my favorite content creators, and I can empathize with quite a few of your struggles. Growing up with autism and (suspected) OCD, having an abusive and isolated childhood, being angry or apathetic the majority of the time. It's been a little surreal watching your content evolve over the years, and it's brought me a lot of joy. A lot of things to think about and also laugh about. At being an entertainer I genuinely feel like you've succeeded, even with all the bumps in the road. I can only hope 2023 will be better.
